Throughout this past year, the women of Darfur have suffered a continuous onslaught of rape, assault and other forms of abuse. The sad truth is that after years of ongoing tragedy, the people of Sudan are still venerable to total impunity and a lack of accountability within the judicial system. While the following headlines can only scrape the surface of the events the people of Darfur have seen this year, they are a snapshot portraying some of the things women have faced. During these 16 Days of Activism on Violence Against Women let us take a little time to review the year our sisters in Sudan have faced and dig in deeper to see that next year will, at the very least, see less horrific headlines.
